at 11:30; Young People's Alliance, 7
o'clock: evening service, 8 o'clock.
Since Rev. Shupp has taken this Beld
there has been a gradual increase In
membership, and the present church
building Is not' large enough to ac
commodate the congregations. It has
been decided to enlarge this, which
will probably be done In the early
Spring. In a financial standing -the
church has money in the treasury,
which win be used for the addition.
It is probable that F. Blrkemeier will
have charge of The work.

makes a very attractive Interior. The
woodwork has been stained in the

of the work, and Rev. Shupp assisted,
making built-in-cupl oards, that would
be a credit to any workman.

Their Rightful Placet In the Government.
IKrom U l.onlntnii M.) Juurniil.l
The grange today Is tho most power
ful orgmilmttloii In the country. Its
llltltleueo extends Into every sivtlon.
and a n fin-tor In the education of the
masses It has never had nil equal. In
this respect It stands by the side of the
public school, only with a broader out
look mid wider sweep of hoiimui. Its
meniliorshlp Includes the best bluml
among the farming classes, mid this
has a more significant meaning when
wo consider (hat tho rural telephone,
trolley ear and free postal delivery
bavo practically wlied out the distinc
tion between country ami city life. It
tneati!! that today tho average farmer
Is fully (he poor lu Intelligence nnd
scope of rapacity of (ho business or
professional num. It menus that ho Is
a man of education and general cul
ture as well ss a tiller of the soil. It
means lu fact that be Is a man lu all
that name Implies iiiul therefore fullv
capable of being a leader among men.
This great change bus nil Wn
brought about during the past few
years. A generation ago and only the
weakest mentality lu tho farmer's fam
ily was scbvti'd to follow In tho foot
step of tho father. The brighter boys
were ullow.il to go Into other sections
of tho country, there to curve out their
fortune ns opportunity might offer.
Tho weakling remained at homo and
succeeded In the ownership of tho old
farm.
All this Is now changed. The agri
cultural college with Its oerlinent
station has raised farming to the dig
nity of a profession. To now succeed
as a tiller of the soil tho mini must not
only lie well educated, but be must
also have tine executive rapacity. In
tensive farming Is the order of the
day. No laggard bus any place on the
modern farm, and slowly but surely all
such are being eliminated from the
business.
lu this great transformation of the
agricultural Industry the grange has
borne a prominent part. Its lenders
have been tho men of most pronounced
Influence In their rosectlve communi
ties nnd contributed their full share lu
the uplifting of society. They have
been tho men of keen Intelligence, high
morals and most excellent Judgment.
Such men are nlwnys nalural leaders,
and on all luontl questions their Inllu
cnie has been undisputed
On the other hand. It ,1s equally nil
disputed that In all mutters pertnlnlng
to governmental, state or iiiunlclpel
leadership tlu;lr Influence da been
practically nothing. They hnvo stood
back and nlloucd the village and city
lawyers to lake control of their affairs
nnd make all the laws. Organized
through the grange for act Ion on inoral
questions, they have remained nnor
(.inlzed In nil that pertains to thHr
material welfare. This Is the one weuk
spot In the grange (mlny, nnd It Is
here that the order needs the greatest
strengthening. There Is no good ren-'
son why the farmer should be com
pelled to pay the merchant nnd the
professional man whatever price Ih-y
choose to place upon their goods nnd
their services, while he Is couipwlli-d to
take whatever they nuiy choose to give
for the products of bis farm. There Is
no equity In such n system, but for
this condition no one Is more to blaino
than the farmer himself.

SEVENTH 8TREET.
PARCELS POST NEEDED.
New York's Stats Mntir 8ys This It
the Most Important Question.
Special Correspondence.!
I If there Is one question more Im
portant thnli another In national legis
lation to the people of the t'tiltcd
States and that the grange should
strive for It Is the enactment of a par
cels post system for the whole coun
try. I know of no other matter that
would be of so much benelit to the
people nnd I firmly believe would be
of great profit to tho postul depart
ment. There seems to be a sentiment
among country merchants that It
would be a detriment to their busi
ness. This I do not believe would
prove true, for with n' reasonable par
cels post rate and the fact that mer
chandise could be sold nt a lower price
people living In tho country should be
disposed to purchase of local mer
chants Instead of sending long dis
tances for their goods. A wholesale
merchant told me not long ago that if
there was a parcels post system, doing
away with the exorbitant express
charges, he could sell his goods ut from
10 to 15 per ceut less than present
prices., F. N. GODFKEY.
